The folks behind the counter are most helpful and informative about their wares. Although the Shell Shack carries a staggering assortment of local and imported shells, they can answer just about any question about them that you could ask They are also quick to assure you that the shells have been used for food value around the world and are NOT endangered.

It is nearly impossible to list all of the treasures to be found in the Shell Shack. If you visit, (and you really should), you will find yourself standing in one place for some time, just trying to take it all in. You'll be rewarded for your visit too. Every guest is invited to choose one free shell from the huge clamshell in the front room.
